About The Oliviers
MasterCard®

"We have so many plays that come to New York from London that I felt well, it can’t possibly work the other way around. But it did and it’s fantastic."
Bruce Norris

"It’s wonderful to have won, but in some ways you have to just assume that it’s lovely to be nominated. To actually win is overwhelming."
Nancy Carroll

"Olivier is somebody I owe so much, my career owes so much to. His generosity, his faith in me. So to win an award in his name is very special"
Derek Jacobi

"It means everything to win an Olivier Award. You certainly don’t go into this for the recognition, but it sure feels lovely when you get it. "
Michelle Terry

"It's absolutely amazing; I'm astounded and thrilled to have won"
Chiwetel Ejiofor

"It’s an absolute thrill, particularly looking at the list of people who’ve been given it before, beginning with Olivier and then Gielgud and Richardson and Judi Dench and all those actors I’ve so admired"
Sir Ian McKellen

"I can’t believe I’ve won a Laurence Olivier Award. I feel like I’m completely blagging it and this man never did."
Sheridan Smith

"That’s the highpoint of my life, I’ll look back on this night and think it was downhill from there"
Rupert Goold

"I used to watch the Oliviers on TV as a kid and dream of winning one of these. I’m so pleased they are televising it again this year because that’s the way you inspire the next generation."
Neil Austin

“I’ve been nominated a few times and the fact that I never won until now I always thought was Larry’s revenge.”
Maggie Smith

"London is truly enjoying a golden age of theatre and this year’s Olivier Awards reflected the wealth of extraordinary talent we have on the capital’s stages."
Nica Burns, Former SOLT President
